The Obama campaign has unveiled a new campaign slogan “Forward” which replaces the previously effective “Kill Whitey!” and, heyyyy… wait a minute, Michael Walsh has figured out that it is a coded message to maybe Bill Ayers or the Baader-Meinhof Gang that Obama is back, and this time capitalism is going down for the count:
About That New Obama Slogan
“Forward,” that is. I knew that sounded awfully familiar. From Wikipedia:
Vorwärts (“Forward”) was the central organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany published daily in Berlin from 1891 to 1933 by decision of the party’s Halle Congress, as the successor of Berliner Volksblatt, founded in 1884.
Friedrich Engels and Kurt Tucholsky both wrote for Vorwärts. It backed the Russian Marxist economists and then, after the split in the Party, the Mensheviks. It published articles by Leon Trotsky, but would not publish any by Vladimir Lenin. . .
Vorwaerts lives on today as the house organ of Germany’s leftist SPD; you can read all about its illustrious history here (in German).
And if you don’t think David Axelrod doesn’t know this, you really ought to think again.
You really can’t slip anything past these guys with their mad Wikipedia skillz…

Also too, ‘forward’ is an anagram for ‘or dwarf’.
As in, “Obama or dwarf!” Quite sinister really.
“Michael Walsh.” I knew that sounded awfully familiar.
From wikipedia:
“An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Archaically the word mome has also been used. The similar terms moron, imbecile, and cretin have all gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy. A dunce is an idiot who is specifically incapable of learning. An idiot differs from a fool (who is unwise) and an ignoramus (who is uneducated/an ignorant), neither of which refers to someone with low intelligence.”
Oh, Chuy. Just too…. too.
And who were German Social Democrats opposing in 1933?
Just sayin.
With their familiarity with the KKKlan you’d think they’d get “Karl” right.
Moran’s
“Forward” is also Wisconsin’s motto.
Obama is obviously plotting to make all of America pasty beer-drinking cheese-eaters.
Oh wait. CURSE YOU OBAMA!
Oh, look! Someone’s putting that Poly Sci 110 “Survey of 18th and 19th Century European Political Movements”.
It’s a shame they couldn’t tie it in to the French Revolution. THAT would have been impressive.
Whoa – this post gave me a 60s flashback:
The peace sign is an upside-down broken crucifix, and hippies (the ‘df’ was understood but not said in those gentler times) were a threat to Christianity!
Forward, eh? No one would seriously use that word for a campaign. Way too dull. Something is rotten in Washington, fer sure. I broke out my secret Glenn Beck decoder ring only to discover the horrifying reality that if you add up the numbers contained in the secret word, you get 85.
85!!!¡¡¡ I know, I know. That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Can you believe it!!
Tell me he doesn’t know that The Forward is the most famous Jewish-American newspaper in the U.S. for over a hundred years. Go ahead. Tell me.
And if you don’t think David Axelrod doesn’t know this, you really ought to think again.
As usual, the Grand Conspiracy is so clever that nobody can figure out its sinister undertones except for the conservative blogger spending 5 minutes on Wikipedia. The Conspiracy really oughta step up its game, you know?
wake up, sheeple!
Also too, a trip to the Internet Anagram people shows us that (among other things) ‘Obama Fed Hitler Carl Marx Stop Now’ translates to ‘A Candelabra Flesh Mitt Morrow Pox’. OMG, Obama’s going to infect Mitt Romney with flesh-eating bacteria! Why can’t you people see it!?
Srsly – these people should NEVER know about this song….
La Marseillaise (en anglais)
Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows
What do they want this horde of slaves
Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
For whom these vile chains
These long-prepared irons?
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
What methods must be taken?
It is us they dare plan
To return to the old slavery!
What! These foreign cohorts!
They would make laws in our courts!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our warrior sons
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
The vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of destiny
….
Holy Frogman, Batman!
Bruce Wayne: “All music is important, Dick. It’s the universal language. One of our best hopes for the eventual realization of the brotherhood of man.”
Dick Grayson: “Gosh Bruce, yes, you’re right. I’ll practice harder from now on.”
I haz confused (not uncommon when reading this shite). I thought conservatives avoided the LIEbrulpedia like the plague because it’s all lying lies by leftwingtarded liars. WTF???
Here’s what the esteemed & truthy-truthful Conservapedia has to say about “Moving America Forward.”
Who ya gonna believe??11!!?
Wow TBogg, you got it going on out there in Commiefornia. First you off Brietbart (note: still dead) with your heart attack blow darts, completely and utterly pwn Loesch and now you expose the seamy underside of Obama’s campaign. What are you going to do after breakfast? Disneyland?
This is good news for John McCain.
Yes, it’s the Final Solution for capitalism. Somebody finally figured out the conspiracy. But now that the secret is out, conservatives will stop the whole thing. Right after they solve those problems with drooling and howling gibberish in public places.
Whew!
I thought we were gonna have to do math there for a second!
Obama divided by Fed point Hitler (carry the 3)….
It’s just like when desperate Xtians try to find science to support the myths they pull out of their “Big Busy Book of Finger Wagging and Glorified Ignorance” because they realize that facts unlike fiction usually have a better chance at winning an argument.
Thanks, TBogg and your fantabulous commenters. I’ve had a day..and I needed the guffaws provided here. I ain’t even gonna try to compete.
May teh Dogz be with U.
Uh, Carl Marx? Guy must be a moran.
Ooh…the highest blessing! At leasthere at TBogg’s place. Thank you!
Carl was Groucho’s unsuccessful cousin.
My car goes forward. Does that mean it’s a communist?
Mitt’s slogan: “Backward! Or sideways! Or whatever you like! Just tell me, and I’m for it! Forward! You like Forward? OK–Forward! Or whatever!” (This is a bumper sticker with very small print)
The sheeple just dont get it. Ill lay it out for you…
Illuminati has ties to Bilderberger, who has ties to Soros and Buffett and Obama. These 3, the Unholy Trinity of Alinskidom, are anti-murikan soshulist sharia law lovers. They were on the grassy knoll back in the day. They have been planning a takeover for decades. 911 was an inside job. Obama was installed into power by the New World Odor. Their only mistake: the Obama birth certificate problem (they almost, almost dotted every “i” correctly). Dems are known totalitarians. Obama is shredding the constitution. Chemtrails have been altering the US weather patterns for years. We are one bad growing season away from Mao-like gummit domination of the population. The reeducation camps are under construction and guns are being consficated.
Cant you people see the connections?
I thought ‘Dan Savages the Dogmatic Dupes’ was a great post, it appealed to me on many levels (sub-basements, all). But this masterpiece, this shining gold star of conservitard logik, has embiggened my heart! I have two ‘friends’ who espouse many of those very views laid out by Mr. Wires, etc. One is a ‘Birther’, the other, a ‘Truther’. And, I think I shall send them a link to here, so as to help unify their efforts in a mutually beneficial transfer of information and facilitate a Vulcan mind-meld of fabulous ‘factoids’ AKA ‘suppressed vital information’.
Damn, these folk are simpletons. An endless source of scary entertainment.
You forgot the Suacer People and Reverse Zombies
“Forward into the past”
Firesign Theater

Forward is eerily familiar, I sure O has used it before, somewhere…
…(Thinks)
…click, click, click (google)
Oh yes, Look Forward not Backward.
Thus, I conclude, there will be continued selective law enforcement (smite the pot smokers, raise up the
wankersbankers – and war criminals.Watching Tbogg get into shreik-decibel-high-dudgeon about crazy rightwing bullshit that’s long since been discredited, at the same time that Barack Obama continues to coast along as George Bush’s third term, is kind of like watching “I love Lucy” re-runs…only not as funny. :o)
You forgot to connect the dots to the black ops helicopters & how the United Nations is not-so-secretly planning centralized control of the planet via sustainable agriculture, bitches!!!1111!!!!
And of course the premier Jewish American periodical is the Forward.
The obvious foil to this is for R-Money to run on the slogan: Rückwärts
“The Forward” was also a daily newspaper influential among Jewish immigrants in the early part of the Twentieth Century. According to Wikipedia, it was started by dissidents from the Socialist Labor Party.
So see? He really is a Kenyan socialist after all. Or something.
And the cars of NASCAR drivers turn only to the left. For hours and hours, they turn only to the LEFT!
Clearly, this is evidence that the communists are plotting to take over NASCAR in order to tighten their grip on the USA.
Watching tanbark pull out the reflexively smug above-it-all ‘pox upon both your houses’ comment is like stumbling upon a Nader For President rally with only four people attending. Sad.
Go play with your Mumia action figure, child….
Jebus Carl Krist on a stick and a cracker…..oh never mind.
You really have a reading comprehension problem don’t you chief? Mockery is not synonymous with high dudgeon.
I would think as a Ron Paul fan you would be more in tune with the fact that the Constitution was deliberately written to limit radical policy changes from one administration to an other. Unless you deliberately ignore the law like “W”‘s administration did.
But then again you and other Ron Paul fanatics don’t really understand the Constitution, you just fetishize it.
I wish he were a socialist or a Marxist.
The vision of him held by most who comment here is about as close to reality, though.
Early 21st century neo-liberal fascist is more like it.
And what vision would that be?
Support your thesis.
Obviously Obama is not what the “right” wing-nuts call him…
but neither is he what the “pragmatic” wing-nuts call him…
no… Obama is a FRAUD. A complete failure and the most scurrilous political liar in my lifetime.
And you are gonna vote for that smug, arrogant bellicose motherfucker?
The one where he gives half a shit about what liberals or progressives think or where he cares about the rule of law or where he’s not completely beholden to corporations, the very rich and the military/intelligence community.
Bigchin, Obama is the black guy. The accomplished political liar is the Romneybot.
“I wish he were a socialist or a Marxist.
The vision of him held by most who comment here is about as close to reality, though.”
If you re-read your comment above, it should be clear to you that I was asking you for what you thought my (and other Tbogg commenter’s) vision of O’bama is supposed to be. Not for your vision of O’bama.
Slow down, take a breath, think it through before you respond next time.
Actually I believe “Backwards!” IS the Repubs official slogan these days. As Roy noted the other day “The conservative vision of the future is the 19th century.”
*looks around* Place sure got full of baggers or something all of a sudden.
No you are wrong, Romney isn’t an accomplished political liar.
By living his entire life at the top of the Corporate Pyramid he has gotten used to everybody swallowing every ridiculous thing he says without batting an eye.
He is a product of the top levels of Corporate America he has never had to learn how to become an accomplished liar. Nobody ever challenged the stupid things he said or “remembered” that he was ever wrong.
That also explains why he is so out of touch with the real world.
Wait. If Obama fed Hitler Carl Marx, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Wouldn’t Hitler get indigestion or something?
I blame Obama for your tired troll act ..I..
Romney/Ted Nugent 2012! (cuz that can’t be worse than Obummer)
We must move forward, not backwards! Upwards, not forwards. And always twirling, twirling, TWIRLING towards freedom!
Yep, just like Bush
Nader/Sparkle Pony 2012!!! :o)
They go to a lot of effort because they cannot just go ahead and say “We hate this fucking ni**er running things!”
i can not stop laughing…
